Bob, our bass player, also plays in Porchcrop, a great up-and-coming Atlanta band.

Mitch, our drummer, owns the Precinct Studio and has an MP3 project called Somerset Sound. He also plays with the Blair Lott Band and the Lindsay Rakers Band.

Craig, our guitar player, also has a CD out called Promise Land. It's available from Echo Lake Records.

Sam and Larry play in the Seed & Feed Marching Abominable, a motley aggregation that dresses zanily, indulges in creative lunacy, and plays music by John Philip Sousa, Benny Golson, James Brown, and other composers. Check them out!

And while you're here, be sure to check out a funny true music story from Owls alumna, euphonium player Joyce Kelly.
